Republican/Teabagger Party Policy
We have seen in the Republican/Teabagger primary fights that for the last 4 to 5 months all the candidates have refrained from making any truthful statements, about their opponents or President Obama. And now we get the latest from Rinse Prewash and the Republican/Teabagger party.
A Republican Party Web-based advertisement uses altered audio from U.S. Supreme Court oral arguments to attack President Barack Obama’s health-care law.The Republican/Teabagger Party - Tearing Down America One Lie At A Time.
In a spot circulated yesterday, the Republican National Committee excerpts the opening seconds of the March 27 presentation of Obama’s top Supreme Court lawyer, Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, in which he is heard struggling for words and twice stopping to drink water.

“Obamacare,” the ad concludes, in words shown against a photograph of the high court. “It’s a tough sell.”
A review of a transcript and recordings of those moments shows that Verrilli took a sip of water just once, paused for a much briefer period, and completed his thought, rather than stuttering and trailing off as heard in the doctored version.
The RNC points to Verrilli’s halting performance as evidence that the 2010 law he is arguing to uphold -- the marquee item on Obama’s domestic agenda and a favorite line of attack for Republican candidates seeking to defeat him in the November elections -- is invalid.
“It seems that Obama’s lawyer hit a bit of a snag trying to defend the constitutionality of Obama’s health care takeover,” the RNC said in a statement accompanying the ad. “Maybe he’s beginning to realize something the American people already know: It’s hard to defend a law that is indefensible.”
